[QUOTE="Kash, post: 772913, member: 23444"] No, it's not going to overheat, stop telling him that. Apple designed the laptops so that they could be used with the lid closed when you have an external screen plugged in. If the company knew that doing so would result in serious damage to your laptop, the feature would not be there. The reason it goes to sleep when you close the lid has nothing to do with heat, it's just one of the design aspects of the laptop. The only way heat could damage the laptop is if the only means of exhaust was through the keyboard and the sides were all sealed off. Since that's not the case, there is no cause of alarm for a heat buildup when running the laptop with the lid closed. [/QUOTE]
